Tonglen Practice.
The Shakyamuni Tibetan Buddhist Center of Portland holds Tonglen Practice.
Literally "sending and taking", Tonglen is the Buddhist practice of
giving away all that is positive and good, and taking in all that is
negative and harmful. Powerful in practice, Tonglen is used as a
meditation technique for developing equanimity, compassion, and healing.
Contact Linda Marshall, group leader, for more information.
